SEDA-JISC Student Partnership Impact Award 2024

SEDA, in collaboration with Jisc, has created the Student Partnership Impact Award as an international recognition of students who have had impact at their universities relating to Educational Development. Student voice, representation and partnership opportunities are increasingly common features of higher education in the UK and internationally, as evidenced through networks, conferences and publications. Students are being given the opportunities and agency to support and lead educational change. Their activities in this area may be recognised locally through their Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR) but there is currently no national recognition available through an appropriate professional organisation. From 2023, SEDA is welcoming applications for a cross-sector certificate in partnership with Jisc that recognises student roles in supporting and leading educational change. This is available for students and for student teams (including graduates up to 12 months) who have gone above and beyond their standard institutional role, and have had identifiable impact or influence within their course, department or university. It provides added value to any HEAR statement and enables these students to stand out in their CVs.
